Student stories

When faced with the choice of coming to Surrey and doing a foundation year, or going to another university, I chose Surrey. I knew a foundation year would make me feel more confident about my choice of studying Law.

The Foundation Year has made me much more confident academically and personally. The skills we were taught, including how to write essays and how to reference, have been a great help in the first year.

The research-led curriculum ensures that students are being taught by those who are actively shaping the future of nutrition science.

I love that the course encourages learning and offers opportunities to explore. I’m preparing for a future in food science while being part of a vibrant and supportive academic environment. I am so proud to be at Surrey!

The MSc Food Science provides opportunities to work on real-world projects like product development, which was a key highlight for me.

I've always been passionate about the forensics side of policing. I used to watch crime documentaries when I was younger with my family, and being at the University of Surrey, doing exactly what I watched on the TV when I was younger, is truly amazing. 

My course involves practical elements, such as the basics of crime scene management as well as lifting fingerprints in various ways. I enjoy this as I can apply what I've learnt in lectures and seminars which deepens my understanding of the topics covered.
